Laura's Lamby Nom Nom

As the title suggest Laura made dinner tonight so I thought I would make a quick post to let you know what was for dinner when I got in.

Firstly I let you know the Ingredients

1 green pepper

1/2 Large onion

1/2 large parsnip

4 Lamb Leg Stakes (approx. 600g)

1 carton of Pasatta (approx. 700g)

1 carton water

12 Cherry Toms

2 tbsp. Tomato Puree

3 cloves of crushed Garlic

Pinch of the below herbs

Rosemary

Basil

Oregano

Paprika

Cumin

Now to let you know how Laura put it all together.

1)     Prep all the Veg in advance by slicing and chopping to your own preferred size.

2)     Trim all visible fat from the Lamb and chop into bite sized chunks.

3)     Spray the pan with Fry light and gently sweating the garlic and onions for a few minutes.

4)     Add the remaining of the vegetables and allow too sweat for a minute or two.

5)     Add the Pasatta, Water & cherry tomatos bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

6)     Add the Lamb allow to simmer for 20-30 mins (until meat cooked)

7)     Finally and with controversy add the herbs for the last 5 mins of simmering.

Serve with boiled Rice or plenty of Mashed potatoes and green beans.

The flavor the meal gave was on first impression a little strange but after one or two mouthfuls I decided that it was beautiful and resembled a slightly north African lamb casserole. 

Walking this week has been intense especially as I started to go out before work for a nice 2-3 mile walk before work and continued with my on break walks.  Overall I managed to cover 52.16 miles yeah you read that correct 52.16 miles that averages out as over 7 miles a day.  I’m super happy that I’ve managed the distance, feel I may need a break from walking as I can feel I have walked a hell of a way as my legs are burning.  All the walking has helped with my little cold that I’ve had as the fresh air has caused my nose to stream and the deep breaths have helped to clear my throat out.
